Host: Gia Ciaccio Cohost: Cole Kruger Panelists: Francisco Garcia & Trey Pope Producer: Will McBroom Message from the producer: This episode concludes with a message on the recent passing of 28 year old Kyra Samson after a nine month battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer. The Kyra Fund is dedicated in her memory to helping fund research into Glioblastomas in hopes of preventing such tragedies in the future. The original goal for the fund was set at 100,000 dollars. It shattered that goal immediately and has as of recording reached over 360,000 dollars. If you or anyone you know are able, please consider donating to the cause and helping contribute the smallest silver lining to the most horrible thing that can happen in the world. We send our thoughts and prayers to her father David and the rest of her family.

The panel then dives into some MLB team talk: why Matty Ice says he’s done watching baseball, why the Tampa Bay Rays are winning the World Series, and why the Miami Marlins are … sexy? To wrap up the show, Winners and Losers returns with a live reaction as breaking news unfolds during the recording: Isa Torres announced her commitment to Texas.  Thank you for listening to another episode of Tomahawk Talk!
